Aim for a year or a lifetime!! All fingers and toes crossed for you!

I hope it all works out well and that the wheels of bureaucracy do not turn too slow in getting all sorted

I'm embarassed to admit, I didn't get it until others commented - just kept thinking of Ava Gardner (sorry, showing my age!) and wondering how that fit with Tarzan (thought maybe she played Jane?). Ray - here's one for you!

Still runs with scissors, still colors outside the lines, but also plays well with others!

The best of luck to you, Willow. If it can be done, I know you will do it.

I have worked with the big firms for years and I am sitting here laughing because although I know dozens of partners from many different countries, I cannot recall a single instance of a French partner moving to NY for just such an exchange!

Please keep us posted!

Willow, my hopes for you to get that position in Paris. What fun it would be for you! All your "tantes" and "oncles" will be able to visit you whenever they are in town. You'll be indeed so busy, there won't be time to be a naughty girl! (Sorry, Shoesy, Gitte might get her hopes for a good babywillow!)

A man hath no better thing to do under the sun than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry!

Thank you all!

Minor update: I had lunch with my coach/mentor today regarding my annual plan and we discussed the exchange program. He doesn't have many details, but apparently you need 2 yrs experiance and your CPA certificate. I'm 25% there with the experiance but I need to get cracking on the CPA. My coach will try to get more info so that I can put myself on the right path to Paris!!!

:)Dear Willow (what a lovely name!)
You know my motto, Life's to short to......miss the opportunity to try to go on an exchange to Paris, even though you will miss your lovely dog and your parents.
Go for it you never know how it will work out. I will keep my fingers crossed

holger: It really does seem as if the site is moribund. Too bad and as I no longer have emails for anyone on my computer just want to wish you all well. I do check periodically but mostly now go to slow travel and the France forum there. Apr 22, 2015 7:54:32 GMT -5
